Types of Defective Product Liability Claims

Posted By
The Gilbert Law Group

If you have injured by a product that you used, it is possible that you
may have a product liability claim. There are several types of these claims,
however, depending on the circumstances of your case. The differences
between these types of claims are important since it can help you determine
whether or not you have a valid claim. Below are the types of defective
product claims you may be able to file.

Defectively Manufactured Products Claims

If the injury-causing product was defectively manufactured, this type of
claim may be the best option. Defective manufacturing means that there
was a flaw in the product due to an error. The defective product is different
than all the other ones that were manufactured due to this flaw.

Examples of defective manufacturing may include:

Broken or faulty parts

Tainted products

Missing parts

Defectively Designed Products Claims

In this type of claim, the design of the product is inherently dangerous
or defective. There was no error or mishap in manufacturing that caused
the product to be dangerous, but the design process created a product
that was a hazard to users. Even if the product was made according to
the designer’s specifications, it still may cause injury.

Examples of defective design may include:

A product that doesn’t meet safety specifications

A product that doesn’t meet expected function

A product that causes injury during use due to poor design

Failure to Provide Adequate Warnings or Instructions Claims

This type of claim involves a lack of adequate warnings or instructions
for use. Failure-to-warn claims typically involve a product that can be
dangerous in ways that are not immediately obvious or that require special
caution taken during use.

Medications without appropriate warnings about side effects or drug interactions.

Corrosive or toxic chemicals without safe handling and storage directions.

Electrical, heated, or other potentially injuring products without warnings.
